Invisible War

Famous quotes containing the words invisible and/or war:

“He could not know my thoughts,
but between us,
the shuttle sped,
passed back,
the invisible web,
bound us....”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“Another danger is imminent: A contested result. And we have no such means for its decision as ought to be provided by law. This must be attended to hereafter.... If a contest comes now it may lead to a conflict of arms. I can only try to do my duty to my countrymen in that case. I shall let no personal ambition turn me from the path of duty. Bloodshed and civil war must be averted if possible. If forced to fight, I have no fears from lack of courage or firmness.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
